I just purchased a Kosta Boda vase and I'm trying to date it and figure out who designed it. Maybe you guys can help me. This vase is 9" tall and is basically clear glass with black, very minimal looking. At the bottom there's a handwritten engraving that says "Kosta LH 1414". I did a little bit of googling and found out that LH "sometimes" stands for Vicke Lindstrand but how do I know for sure that it is a Lindstrand piece in this case? What does LH stand for when it's not Lindstrand? Also would anyone know how to date this vase and what the value is on it?
Thanks!
I found this website selling...
I found this website selling a similar piece for a ridiculously high amount. The number on this vase is 1417, mine is 1414, and it's 8" tall while mine is 9" tall. I guess it's safe to assume that mine is from the same period and line as this one.
